Fourth Spell | [Video]
Ah. So that is what they mean about being sent home and summoned back at random. How... disorienting. I would prefer it if the spirits would choose not to make a habit of this. Especially to do it in this kind of weather.
[He doesn't very much appreciate it. He doesn't like being tossed between worlds so haphazardly, and with complete disregard to whatever he may have been doing at the time. Rude, Spirits. Just rude. That is no way to treat a prince! Not to mention the weather is hot, and he's in heavy black armor. And the sun is blinding. How do people stand it?]
Seeing that I was sent home a few months ago, I am certain I've fallen quite behind. If someone would be so kind to inform me of the important details, I would be appreciative. Particularly that in any GSRF revelations, as well as Fayren and Attleton's Guardianships.
[Because he does not see Azura or Dante's names anywhere, and frankly, he's pretty miffed by that. Annoyed, even. Possibly angry. Maybe.]
... that said, I shall be resuming my teachings at the Ivory Tower, and I better not hear that students chose to neglect their studies in my absence. I would rather not deal with problem students in my first returning week.

Leo? [Obviously.]] Another round of elections happened, and many key members of the GSRF have disappeared.
We still have Lakendell. Your room is the way you left it.
no subject
[Yes hello, did you miss him? You've been taking care of his sister, right? Right?]
So in short, the GSRF has made no progress since I left. That is unfortunate. [And kind of obnoxious. But whatever, he'll deal.]
Ah. I see. I would much prefer that than making use of the key that I woke up with. I don't suppose my cat is still there, is he?
[The one eyed cat that he most certainly did not name Niles no what are you talking about]
no subject
[He remembers from the debates when he and Azura ran against one another.]
There's a lady named Rapunzel as Attleton's Guardian, and Fayren's current Guardian is a skeleton.
[They can be unhappy about that together.]
no subject
A skeleton? Surely you jest.
[Then again... this is Genessia. Nothing should surprise him.]
How on earth could an undead creature take the place of my sister? It's unfathomable.
[And Dante! How could this other girl defeat Dante?! ...unless.]
... am I correct in surmising, at least, that Dante was sent home?
no subject
[Actually, it was Azura who ran against him, but it's in the past...]
Believe me, I wish it was a jest. As for how it happened, your sister decided to drop from the last election just before the debates, so the skeleton ran unopposed.
As for Dante, I believe he has been sent home now...
no subject
[He can't begin to fathom why she would do such a thing. And to back down to some undead creature?! He pauses then regains himself.]
I apologize, you likely would not be privy to her decisions. I imagine she did not make such a decision lightly, let alone in public.
[That's something she likely only would have gone over with her siblings... had they been here with her. Damn it all, how could he have had duties to his family both here and home?]
... but that is a shame regarding Dante. And here I had not considered my debt to him repaid.
no subject
...You know your sister better than I do, so I can't even begin to guess. She and I really haven't spoken since that time we ran against one another...
[He sighs, shaking his head.]
Had I known she was going to step down, I would have run again. But honestly, I have questions about a justice system than chooses its Guardians based on popularity or dumb luck...

WELL THEN! THANK YOU FOR WORKING AT THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD!! I'M SURE THOSE IVORY TOWER TOTS WILL APPRECIATE YOUR TUTELAGE!!!
ALAS, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I MUST ASK ONE OF MY VERY OWN. HOW MANY MONTHS IS A "FEW"???
no subject
I'm sure there will be a few less than pleased with my return. [Only because he was hard on the slackers. Magic is serious business, damn it!]
According to this network's archives, it has been approximately seven months since I departed.
no subject
OH, WELL THEN ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS...
[He says very thoughtfully, as though an abacus were masterfully manipulated in his mind.]
THAT'S ENOUGH TIME FOR THE GUARDIANS TO SWITCH PLACES! TO ME!!! AZURA, UM, WASN'T REALLY THAT INTO IT. I GUESS SHE FIGURED I'D DO A GREAT JOB!! I HAVE TO COMMEND HER RIGHT JUDGMENT!!!
[And then she just wasn't that into existence altogether, but he doesn't know anything about that.]
no subject
[Sure, it helps, but getting the knowledge from the classes is far more important.]
... you mean to tell me she backed down?
[She... backed down... to this thing? Gods, Qubine wasn't joking!]
Then I hope you are making an effort to uphold her policies and living up to her expectations?
[Right?]
no subject
[But then, every teacher was popular to him. So knowledgeable, so proud of his arts 'n crafts. They inspired him to be the skeleton he is today. If only a certain education-hating deputy could see things that way.]
OH, NO, NO. IT WAS MORE LIKE SHE...CLAMMED UP, OR POOFED! OR GOT BORED!!
[Not so much cowardice as complete apathy. That's...better? Maybe?]
YES! PROBABLY!
...DID SHE HAVE ANY PARTICULAR POLICIES OR EXPECTATIONS???
[Hold on, he has some papers to frantically flip through. She seemed fine, if normal to him.]
HMM...WELL, SHE DID HIRE A DEPUTY AFTER HE BEAT HER UP!! BUT THAT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME YET, SO I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO IMPLEMENT THAT!
no subject
Did you, perhaps... read anything that was left behind? At all?
[... in some weird way, Leo would like to think that Azura wouldn't have backed out if a clear buffoon or one of ill intent was aiming to take her place. Or maybe he's trying to find excuses not to be horribly annoyed.
...except that last bit gets his attention. Probably the wrong kind of attention.]
She what?! And just who was this cretin?! I will make him rue the day that he dared challenge Nohrian royalty!
no subject
[It wouldn't be very Guardian-like to encourage violence. Unless it's from a potential hire in his direction, apparently.]
OF COURSE I READ STUFF! THESE EFFULGENT EYES AREN'T JUST FOR SHOW!
[Brilliant as his eyesight was, he couldn't figure what Leo wanted. It seemed like a puzzle with information deliberately left out. And who's better at puzzles than him? Maybe Elise! Time to see what super, special, secret designs he meant.]
DO REGULAR PATROLS...CHECK. FIND THE MISSING ROYALTY...DOUBLE CHECK. HMM...
[This puzzle is tough. If it's not in the Tower, maybe it was something in her past network? Okay phone, let's unravel some secrets.]
OH. OHHH! OHHHH! NYEH HEH HEH, SO THAT'S WHAT YOU MEANT! WHAT AN INGENIOUS WAY FOR FUNDRAISING!!!
DON'T FRET; OUR FUNDS ARE COMPLETELY SECURE RIGHT NOW!! BUT I'LL KEEP THAT STRAT IF THE MARKET TURNS UN-BEAR-ABLE.
[Stock-market puns. Just the kind a medieval wizard would love.]
UNLESS YOU WANTED ME TO SET YOU UP ON A HOT DATE FOR OTHER THAN ECONOMIC REASONS??? I KNOW SOME PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOURS TRULY! JUST SAY THE WORD, AND THE GREAT GUARDIAN PAPYRUS WILL PROTECT YOUR LOVE LIFE!!!
video;
[Yep. That's it. At least he isn't calling you "Nohrian scum. Progress, right?]
no subject
Oh? And is there something I'm late for?
[So far, it's at least a more... quiet reunion of sorts.]
no subject
Nothing really. Until you showed back up, I was the only one left.
no subject
[The family did have far more important matters to tend to at home, so the reprieve was somewhat of a blessing. Still, being separated from everyone again...]
I hope this isn't an omen of everyone's sudden appearance again.
no subject
Uai wasn't taking that well.
[Takumi is certainly the last person to provide comfort for a broken heart.]
no subject
[First at home, now here?! Where the hell did she go?!]
Tch... I can imagine. Tell me he has not done anything reckless.
no subject
Nothing serious so far. Uai does look...despondant, however. He's been a shut-in since it happened.
[As far as he knows, at least. He tries to keep an eye on him, but he wants to let him have his space.]
no subject
[Some time to show back up. His family's entirely gone again, Takumi's the only one left and now he has to babysit Uai. All of this on top of resuming his work at the Ivory Tower?!]
As much as we can without making matters worse, that is.
